In fact, the fried seafood at Woodman's has been gluten free ever since the restaurant's founder, Chubby Woodman, first developed it nearly 100 years ago in 1916. "It's not like we did it to jump on the bandwagon," says Mau- reen Woodman, director of sales. "We were the bandwagon." Since the recipe for Woodman's fried clams and other fried seafood has consisted of little more than corn flour and evapo- rated milk for a century, the eat-in-the-rough Essex institution has been a longtime favorite for those with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder in which gluten damages the small in- testine. In fact, Maureen Woodman says that in the 1960s and '70s, a celiac newsletter—distributed in print, long before the advent of the Internet—touted Woodman's of Essex as a place that was safe for celiac-suffering diners. Once the Internet took hold and gluten-free diets became mainstream and com- mon for people without celiac disease, Woodman's did even more to accommodate its gluten-sensitive patrons. "We just kind of kicked it up a notch," says Woodman. Flavor Saver: Nearly everything at Life Alive can be made according to customer specifications.
